Soph Honors Program
'Unique' Says Thomas
The University of Oregon's
Sophomore Honors program is
"unique” said Russell Thomas in
an Emerald interview last Friday,
insofar as the award of honors is
dependent upon comprehensive
examinations rather than course
grades.
Thomas, a professor at the Uni
versity of Chicago, is making a
nationwide studv of general edu
cation for the Carnegie Corpora
tion. He visited the campus last
Thursday and Friday.
Similar Program at Wisconsin
Thomas said that Oregon’s
Sophomore Honors program is
one of the few of its kind in large
state institutions. He mentioned
the University of Wisconsin as
having a program similar in in
tent for lower division students
called "integrated liberal studies."
Wisconsin’s. program differs
somewhat in that students may
not elect to take some or all
i courses, but must take the entire
series once they start. Wisconsin
I also neither uses comprehensive
j examinations nor gives an award
I for successful completion of the
courses.
General education is used to a
greater extent in large private
j universities than in state institu
: tions, Thomas said, mentioning
| Yale’s "Directed Studies” pro
| gram, and the regular lower di
vision requirements at the Uni
, versity of Chicago and Columbia
| university.
The variety of general educa
tion courses covered in the Sopho
more Honors program and uni
versity lower division require
ments is not dissimilar to other
j universities employing general
; education, Thomas said.
He mentioned that one differ
ence he noted was that students
in select general education pro
grams such as Sophomore Hon
ors usually take both a physical
j science course and. a biology
! course, instead of one or the other
as here at Oregon.
Discussion Classes Praised
Thomas praised the use of small
discussion classes in Sophomore
Honors. He said his feeling was
that although general survey
courses with large lecture classes
| often employ the same readings
and other material, they still do
not accomplish as much as dis
cussion classes of restricted size.
Outside the Sophomore honors
program, Thomas said that Ore
gon offers excellent opportunities
in upper division general educa
tion work.
He noted the system of interde
partmental studies and general
social science majors as being
rare in state institutions. This,
he said, offers good opportunities
to students wishing to gain a
broad background.
